OBJECTIVES
The Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management (EEDM) MSc programme and the
Earthquake and People Interaction Centre (EPICentre) at the University College London
(UCL) are conducting a reconnaissance field trip in Italy from the 4th to the 8th of June 2018.
The team will study the impacts of the 2016-2017 Central Italy Earthquakes and will also visit
the areas affected by the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake. The reconnaissance trip will be focused
on six main themes: 1. Seismic performance observation of new and existing structures
(masonry, reinforced concrete and steel, residential and industrial); 2. Non-destructive tests on
diagnostics of existing buildings; 3. Detailed and systematic damage data collection for the
development of fragility and vulnerability models for the building typologies damaged by the
2016-2017 Central Italy Earthquakes; 4. Seismic performance of schools and cultural heritage
structures and their impacts on community resilience; 5. Emergency response and disaster
management; 6. Experience and perspectives of people, local communities, and organizations
involved in the 2016-2017 Central Italy Earthquakes.
